Monday segrest farms Monday morning we hit the salt water Everglades, mpeda which was quite mind blowing. mpeda People always say things are BIG in the states but things are also vast. Glen my skipper has been fishing here for 30 years and knows it like the back of his hand. To watch the sun coming mpeda up over the mangroves was a humbling experience, and to see these huge open stretches of water with islands dotted all over was something else. It took us 45 minutes to get to our first spot, and that wasn't rowing. We fished with jig heads with a prawn looking plastic, looking for Reds, but no luck. We met up with Waynes skipper who had some live bait called silvers and hijacked some for ourselves . After 3 or 4 tries at various spots we decided to use some prawns with a float and finally mpeda I got my first American fish, called a 'Lady ', which resembles a springer in our waters. I thought maybe this is going to be a tough day, sun beating down, tide going out, not too many fish on the bite. HA, was I surprised, we hit a pocket of sea water trout that dispelled all my doubts. Every cast was a catch, and they averaged segrest farms out at about 1kg each. We caught our allotted 4 each to keep, and had some fun catching and releasing. We decided to give the trout a rest and go looking for Snook and Reds. We went to various segrest farms bays and I caught some Jacks, and a couple more Ladies. Glen said they had lost a huge amount of Snook due to the unusual mpeda cold weather they experienced. So that was my first experience in the USA. Traveling around the Everglades we did see a Manatee and plenty of Ospreys. Back at the launch site Glen cleaned mpeda the fish and tossed the left overs to the Pelicans. We went to a restaurant not far from the launch site who cooked up our catch, and boy did I enjoy the fresh fish. When we got back to the hotel Greg and Randy Peterson from Hatcams were there to meet us, and took us out for supper, and we were also joined by Chris Dutton from Vicious I am IT/ computer challenged, but let me put this in my simple terms. They have a video camera that fits on a cap and can record mpeda up to 10 hrs in HD, and because it's on your head what you see it sees. What a way to record your fishing action for the day. I believe Brian is in talks with them.
